Hi all,
I've looked over the threads and consensus seems to be that rivets are the vastly preferred method of attaching the trim vs screws. I just had mine done by Safelite (appeared to be original to the truck) thanks to a bad crack that formed over the weekend. I had it brought to a local, trustworthy dealership to have them keep an eye on things since they don't do their own glass installs Come to find out he's using screws, not rivets, on the new OEM glass. He explains it to me saying they don't like to use rivets because they risk breaking the glass that way etc. etc.
On the drive home there's more noise than usual, so I have him come check it out and he'd forgotten the lowest exterior screw on the pass. side A pillar (that's how I find out he's using screws).
Other than that he seemed to do a solid job, all the trim looks well lined up, no glaring issues thus far. Do I insist they re-do it with rivets? Am I doomed to a life of rusty A-pillars from here on out? Any advice is appreciated.
